380 Bonus Revenge on Truen (1/2)

When Zero said that he was going to make Truen payback for the 'favour', he meant every word of it. The archer wasn't against accompanying Zero on a shopping trip but the foreboding feeling since morning became even worse when he saw where Zero was taking them to.

The clothing store was every man's nightmare and Truen was no exception. When he saw the kind of clothes Zero was looking at, he melted a little on the inside. It was true that Zero would look good in almost anything and it was his duty to take pictures when Zero tried on new clothes and send it to the group chat with the onion union.

HOWEVER!

It was a different matter when Zero made Truen try on clothes.

Because Zero made them look similar, Truen understood the dangers of having an androgynous face. Zero looked great as a female and by default, so would Truen.

”Truen! Check this out! Isn't it cute?” he asked in a sickly sweet voice that made all of Truen's fingers cringe and die.

As if sensing a very powerful foe standing behind him, Truen slowly turned and his eyes landed on the most obnoxious piece of fabric he had ever seen in his life - a pink dress.

This legendary pink dress was a boss monster worn by only the most elegant and cutest ladies of ages between fourteen to eighteen. Truen wasn't sure how old he was but he knew for a fact that this boss monster would completely obliterate his masculine pride forever if Zero were to make him try it.

Looking into his best friend's eyes, Zero was going to make him wear it. In fact, the doctor's eyes were smiling even though he looked very happy on the surface. Those eyes were staring right into his soul, daring him to refuse. Truen knew that this time, Zero was serious.

They were locked in a stalemate for a long time and to the outsiders, it looked as if the younger sister was asking for an opinion if the dress would look good on her while the older brother was caught in a dilemma about how he should answer her. Only the shopkeeper, an elderly dwarf, knew what the fight was about.

The elderly lady moved away from the siblings. They were the rumoured esteemed envoys from Magnus Hilda and although she didn't know if it was a custom of the elves to make their brothers wear dresses, she didn't want any trouble in her shop. Most clothes sold here were brought in by merchants who travelled and it was one of the only shops in the city that carried clothes of all styles and sizes. Most other clothing shops only had dwarven sized clothes.

Truen glanced around the shop, trying to find an alternative. The dress that Zero chose was too terrifying. Then, he found a black dress that looked like a robe. Deciding to jump on that lifeline, Truen pointed at it.

”I think that one looks better,” he told Zero and didn't meet his eyes.

”Is that so?” his voice was now cold and the dwarves outside settled for a good show. ”In that case, I will wear this and you can wear that. Ma'am, could you help my brother try on that dress? He likes it better.”
